A poem in Vietnamese by Lê Vĩnh Tài
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
your lips
bloomed like a flower
upon me as though I was
the sea
you’re the rain
and amongst the waves we loved in silence
without sound
đôi môi của bạn
mở ra với tôi như một bông hoa
và
bạn áp vào tôi như tôi là biển
bạn là mưa
chúng ta yêu nhau trong con sóng
lặng lẽ không có tiếng động
